66 notes in 4 seconds?? So clean too. Absolutely crazy. Playing at 16.5 Hz, the amount of notes per second itself is almost a distinguishable note to the human ear xD
Bruh... I'm speechless... never subber so fast. One quick note, LoG play a lot of their riffs above 12 fret, to give the notes a more beefy tone. The Blood of the Scribe riff gets a tad easier when you play those 32nd notes in 15 to 18th fret and the riff pattern overall gets easier to follow. They play it this way live also, probably because it's indeed easier.
I listen to most of these songs regularly. I don't know much about playing guitar but I could tell they were probably difficult to play. King shit learning all that, keep it up guy!
I've been learning G.O.A.T. since November of 2018 and I've practiced the main riff enough to have it close to perfect. But aside from that the only thing I have down is Scott's riffs during the section after the main riff plays twice. Mad respect for learning all of these monsters dude. Subbed.
@@currentlyvibing9916 it's possible with practice! It was my mentality "Tim and me both have hands, if he can do it, I can do it. Giving up in the process would be meaningless. What people see is the result" also the best thing is, it improves your ability to learn. Learning a new Polyphia song of that tier doesn't take longer than quarter of that time now
3 months ago bought a strat, was playing classical guitar in music school but it was like 5 years ago, nailed in this riff everything, except fast part, any tips for this?
These are some of my favourite riffs.. you killed it. I’ve been learning for about a year and blood of the scribe was the first I recorded. Seeing it in this list is mad! Good work 🤟
Trivium has some of the hardest riffs out there. Between Matt’s immaculate picking technique and big ass hand stretches and Corey’s laser precision riffs that make death look like nirvana it’s so hard to pick up the faster songs
I think Shogun and In Waves has their most hardest and most brutal riffs. The Crusade too, I swear that riff after the clean section is too tricky to get down.
Thanks for watching guys and if you wanna see some even harder riffage. Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/PlSlu2330ok/v-deo.html Polyphia riffs: ua-cam.com/video/sQFfL2YWb_8/v-deo.html
I remember that when I first started playing guitar, the first thing I would do when I got home from school to play was go through EVERY riff I knew how to play, and G.O.A.T. was the hardest thing I could play at that point. And now I can shred, and this video still makes me jealous.
Great work! Some monster riffage here for sure and like others below have said the tones were really solid. I would suggest working some on left hand economy of motion, fingers are lifting way up off the board. You are fast and fierce now so imagine how much more if your fretting hand wasn't slowing things down. Keep rocking it!
Thanks for the tip man! Got around 20 comments about that so yeah, I really need to work on that.. its so hard the change the way you play after 10 years of experience😂
Great attitude! 😎Totally feel ya on the habits being hard to change. Especially after they have become ingrained and don't necessarily feel like a problem to you at the time. I got "crushed" when i was a "young hot player in my town" and gigging a lot (bass guy then) and older wiser guy broke it down to me that my right hand technique was flawed and holding me back. At first i was hurt and pissed because i thought i was shredding it. I got the emotion out of way and really thought about his point and reworked my technique to immense reward.

My dude you are really talented, being a person who actually likes learning riffs vs entire songs I'm gonna try some of these that I don't know. Some of these bands I've never heard of either so thanks for that too, any chance of getting a part 3 of this?
This is nuts, especially that last one, G.O.A.T. took me a solid 3 weeks at least just to get that first riff down, and that uber fast lick is still kind of sloppy, nevermind the rest of the song yet.
@@bobbyjones4588 thanks but that's like saying, having problems with high school algebra? go learn vector calculus first and then it'll be a piece of cake by comparison. Or something to that affect. Lol
You’re a fantastic fucking player, man. Be proud! I’m really good at writing/playing the main meaty riffs of tunes, but I suck at leads and especially sweeps and odd time signatures
Love the video! One thing though- Scarlett is actually one of the easier periphery riffs (at least for me, it’s one of the only ones I can play lol). But awesome video man!!!!
Today i've learned that the song called "Dance of Eternity" by Dream Theater has over 108 time signature changes, making it one of the most musically complex songs in Progressive Metal. Nice.
Great list! Just a few more additions: Periphery- zyglrox The diminished tapping shape is easy enough, but in the riff, it is all over the fret board at a high speed. Dream theater- lost not forgotten That bridge section right after the intro, which has like every note and chord ever in the most random order ever in the most random time signatures ever. Polyphia-OD The sweeps are only downward motion, so you keep have to resetting your hand. Jason Richardson- titan ....do I need to explain?
Also Slipknot - Eeyore Downpick plus tremolo at 244 bpm isn’t easy Periphery - Marigold I know lots of people that plays that riff easily but riff that stretches from 3 to 7 fret and then from 7 to 12 at that speed is killing me
Those are some of my favorite guitarists. You should check out Archspire- Human Mumuration, and Dean Lamb's channel. He is the guitarist of Archspire. They are very fast and Technical.
